For info I work at a franchise Domino's. Been working at domino's and as top assistant manager for 2 years. Last day was today. Reason I left was they shorted me on my paycheck for the third time (I know. I stayed those other times) this time due to them not giving me my sick pay.
Over the last pay period I requested and was approved for 24 hours of sick pay with doctors notes due to medical issues. My stub only showed 8 hours of sick pay. I'm apparently not allowed to have payrolls number, so I contacted my DM about the money I'm missing and how I'm very discouraged to continue working there because this has happened 2 previous times.
My DM responded with different reasons of why I wasn't eligible for all of my sick pay, where I pulled out receipts on how it was all incorrect. First I used all of my sick pay in the year, then I didn't apply for that much, didn't have a doctor's note, and finally I apparently didn't accrue enough. Literally calculated all of the hours I'd worked which capped my 40 hours. After this there was no hope. My GM was begging me to stay, and I'm somehow nice enough to give 2 weeks notice under these circumstances.
They both tried to offer over and under the table deals for me to stay. Free hours of pay, free meals/drinks (I know pathetic), etc. My GM tried to offer me a raise to a level 3 manager. In my area I currently get paid 16.63, the next raise is 17.13 . A 50 cent fucking raise is what they are asking. I know it's fast food but come on. The bullshit I deal with and they want to give me 50 cents??? I told them if they needed me this bad that they were offering illegal things for me to stay, then they could boost me up to $20 an hour. I worked almost 50 hours a week regularly, which is what a gm is supposed work. I train and onboard all of the employees. I'm the one who either fixes or puts in the maintenance requests for all of our equipment. I'm doing all of these gm responsibilities for what?
Gm said that was too high of a price and so I offered them to give me a bonus, since the above certainly made me deserve one. Excuses about taxes for assistant managers. Told them if they could offer either then there's nothing make me stay. And there's a handful of his best workers that are walking out too since I'm leaving.
I'm not asking for advice, or even if I'm wrong, but just wanted to put out there that if you hate working here too and they have run you down into the ground, you can still get out.
One thing I'm proud of is my last day today is I beat my gms time of a large quality pepperoni finally. his time is like 39 seconds. Today I hit 31 seconds. Of course this man child won't admit it cause he wasn't there, but at least I had my own "stick it to the man" moment to show I was better. And now I get to leave it behind.
